Age
of Evil is a total conversion. It requires Duke
Nukem 3D Atomic Edition, version 1.4 or 1.5. It
features new baddies, new graphics, new sounds,
new music, new levels, and one or two crappy new
weapons. Currently only the first two episodes
are available, with the rest to be released when
they're done. So THERE.

STORY

Christopher
Quinn, novelist, British citizen, eldest son of
Lord and Lady Quinn of Rotchestershire, England,
was rather surprised when he came home from a
booksigning tour one day to find that both his
parents were dead. He was even more surprised
when he dropped to his knees and burst out
laughing.

Indeed,
this worried him when he had recovered, so as
soon as the funeral was over he toddled on down
to this local psychiatric hospital for a checkup.
He was found to possess a borderline psychopathic
personality, and it was recommended that he stay
at the institute for further evaluation.

One
night, Chris is awoken by a terrible scream. At
first he thinks another serious inmate is being
given a cold shower, but then he notices a rather
eerie silence hanging over the place. He could
hear unearthly moans and grisly noises in the
distance. A security guard burst in, a knife
buried in his spine, and collapsed upon the
floor, dead. Even with slight psychosis Chris can
tell something is very, very wrong. He dresses
swiftly in his civilian clothes and trenchcoat,
and arms himself with the deceased guard's gun.

As
he prepares to face whatever is waiting for him
outside the door, a thin and baffling smile
crosses his face.

NEW
WEAPONS

Automatic
Rifle: It's kind of like the Chaingun
Cannon, only it's uglier. And it's slightly more
powerful and can carry slightly less bullets. Who
the hell am I trying to kid, eh?

Book
of Transformations: An ancient and
revered book of magic which allows Chris to
transform his enemies into helpful things, like
ammo or health. He does, however, run the risk of
creating something equally hostile!

There's
another new weapon, but you're technically only
supposed to get it in episode 3, and you can
currently only get it by cheating, so I'd better
not talk about it.

NEW
ENEMIES

Zombies:
Living humans turned into mindless
subservient drones by an all-powerful and
all-encompassing diabolical force. A stark satire
on the plight of today's workers, then.

Rotguts:
3D Realms are mean bastards so they
don't let you change much about the Protozoid
Slimer, except the graphics and sound. So here's
what I came up with; a sentient pile of cartilage
that bursts from the bodies of the dead and comes
after you. Shit!

Lardarses:
Bloated uber-zombies with big gatling
guns who look a bit like the Honey Monster. They
come in both regular and pant-wetting sizes.

Ghosts:
Dead souls given partial physical form,
they can turn the dreadful coldness of death into
a projectile with which to attack you! They also
have a nasty habit of teleporting in front of you
without warning.

Poltergeists:
Lacking physical form themselves, the
poltergeist forms a cloud of debris around
itself. It can send disorienting waves at you, or
hurl proximity explosives. Be careful when
shooting them; they're sometimes a little
volatile.

Spectre:
The boss of episode 2. He's a big
fucker.
